Trinity Lake Aug 11, 2013

Trinity Lake is about 1 1/2 hours drive west of Reding CA. It has a shore line of about 185 miles so is about 1/2 the size of Shasta Lake. It is at 2,300 ft elevation and surrounded by beautiful mountains. The lake is ringed with pine and redwoods and it quite beautiful. The water was cooler than Shasta, sufficiently to keep us from tubing that day. As it is somewhat remote it isn't a busy lake. Camping seems to be a big attraction.

This was our first time at Trinity Lake. We plan to go back when the lake is full so experience the full extent of it's beauty.
